Coimbatore : Within 18 hours after the murder of a 21-year-old girl from Pollachi that shook Coimbatore was found out, Coimbatore District Police have traced out and arrested today the murderer, who happened to be the close relative of the victim here.
According to police, the victim, a student of a private arts and science college in Coimbatore has been reportedly murdered by the accused T. Sathish Kumar (29) from Oddanchathiram.
While Sathish Kumar was earlier picked up by the Kattoor Police for an interrogation after an FIR was filed in the station by the parents of the girl after she went missing yesterday, forensic officials confirmed traces of Sathish Kumar’s involvement in the murder.
Sathish Kumar was immediately arrested by the District Police in the foothills of Kodaikanal and has also reportedly confessed to have murdered the victim.
In his confession, Sathish Kumar, who is married to another woman, had claimed that the victim is his uncle's daughter. Both had been in love with each other since childhood. However, as their parents denied their marriage, Sathish Kumar got married to another woman. Even after the marriage, Sathish Kumar and the girl have been in touch with each other.
Sathish Kumar also claims in his confession that he had gifted expensive things to the victim very often and due to which he had to borrow a lot of money from outside. After Sathish Kumar became a father, he has gradually limited his relationship with the girl. However, he alleges that the girl continued to haunt him for gifts and money and even demanded to marry her
Meanwhile, the girl got engaged to another man and was about to get married, shortly. Sathish Kumar then thought that she would detach from him and lead a peaceful life. To the contrary, the girl had continued to torture him for gifts and also demanded to marry her.
Vexed by her torture Sathish Kumar decides to murder her. On April 5, he had picked the girl from the college and murdered her and dumped her body on the Dharapuram Main Road in Pusaripatti near Pollachi.
